    I think Giardello. Based on a combination of things. He can be slick and rough at the same time. Better footwork and combinations. I think he takes a UD from Hopkins.

    Giardello..he's not the clueless stiff or the shot has-been that Hopkins looks so good against.

    JOEY did not have the work ethic of B Hop, but he beat better fighters ,and in shape he beats Bernard,imo.

    I take Giardello. His constant movement is the key here.

    A prime Hopkins would have beat Giardello just a little bit better at everything than Giardello and naturaly bigger man. Giardello might make it close but Hopkins is just a notch above. Hopkins 9-6 decision.
